time to complete the job.
——Joseph Lose, a former Bellefonter,
WATCHMAN has frequently suggested the
fonte at some opportune time during the
present year, 1910, and the matter has
attracted the attention of Centre coun-
tians living in other States to that extent |
that we have received letters commend- |
ing the suggestion and expressing the
hope that such a celebration be held. As |
a sample of the letters received we quote |
the following from a letter received from
C. 8. Dannley, of Medina, Ohio, an old Fer-
guson township boy and a former student
of the Pine Grove Mills Academy. Mr. |
Dannley says.:
Once a week the WATCHMAN comes
home, a welcome guest | assure you.
Among the many things that interested us
was an article some time ago advocating a
memorial to Gov. Curtin, in the form of a
“home coming week.” Is the matter still
under consideration?
Besides doing honor to the memory of
one of our most noted men, it would be one
of the greatest social events ever held in
old Centre. The organizations abroad of
Centre County people would all be repre-
sented, the students of Pine Grove Mills
Academy, the Centre county normalites,
could all hold their reunions and exchange
greetings. We hope your suggestions can
be carried out.
As stated in these colums not long ago
Bellefonte and Centre county people have |
every reason to have an Old Home week
this year. It will mark the comple
tion of the New High school building, one
of the best in the State, and the comple-
tion of the remodeled court house, with
a formal dedication of both. Then there
is agitation all over the county of holding
memorial excercises commemorating the
fiftieth anniversary of the election of
Lincoln as President and as Centre coun-
ty is especially interested because it also
will be the fiftieth anniversary of the
election of Andrew G. Curtin as Govern-
or of Pennsylvania the greatest War Gov-
ernor the nation ever had, it is fitting
that a celebration of some kind be held
here to celebrate all the above, and noth-
ing could be more opportune than an
Old Home week. During such a gather-
ing both the school house and the court
house could be dedicated and a day set
aside for proper memorial exercises com-
memorating the election of both Lincoln
and Curtin. The WATCHMAN again pres-
ents the matter to the &xrnest considera-
tion of the people of Bellefonte and Cen-
tre county and expresses the hope that
some such a gathering be held.

CELEBRATED GOLDEN WEDDING. —On
December 29th, 1859, George W. Rumber-
ger and Miss Margaret Armagast, both
school teachers in Buffalo Run valley,
evidently concluded they could be of more
use in this world by combining forces so
they came to Bellefonte and were joined
in marriage by Rev. A. B. Snyder, pastor
of the Methodist church, and the half
century of life they have spent together
since, while not one of all joys and sun-
shine, has been one that witnessed the full
fruition of so many of their honeymoon
dreams that they were a very happy cou-
ple when they celebrated their golden
wedding on Wednesday of last week at
their very cosy home in Unionville.
And they had every reason to be happy
because they are both enjoying good
health and they had with them on that
occasion their ten children and sixteen
grandchildren, allof whom are also in the
very best of health. The children are:
Mrs. Joseph E. Brugger, of near Union-
ville; Mrs. Edward M. Greist, Philipsburg:
John C,, of Bellefonte; George F., of Du-
Bois; William H., of Bellefonte; Albert
E, of Patton; Harry D., of Philipsburg;
Allen G., of Trenton, N. J.,, and Misses
Laura and Marian. The above with their
children and a dozen friends composed
the crowd who were present not only to
felicitate with Mr. and Mrs. Rumberger
on such a momentous celebration but also
to partake of the elaborate feast of good
things which made up the golden wed-
ding feast. But they did notcome empty
handed at that, as Mr. and Mrs. Rum-
berger were the recipients of a well filled
purse of gold and quitea number of other
very useful presents.

PouLTrY SHOW AT STATE COLLEGE.
—The first annual poultryshow in Centre
county was held at State College last week
during the Farmer's Week exercises and
was under the auspices of the Centre
County Poultry association and the poul-
try department of the College. The ex-
hibit included four hundred and fifty
birds from the pens of fanciers at Lewis-
burg, Sunbury, Milton, Northumberland,
Bloomsburg, Hughesville, Williamsport,
Altoona, Bellefonte and a few other towns.
In the Bellefonte exhibit J. G. Heylmun
had three birds and took one third prize;
Al. Heverly had four birds and took cne
first and three second prizes; Joseph
Runkle had thirteen birds which took
four first, one second, one third and one
fourth prize. S. B. Rumberger had seven-
teen birds, and took seven first, four sec-
ond, three third and two fourth prizes;
Dr. J. Allison Platts had eight birds and
took four first, two second and one third
prize.
Considering the fact that there was lit-
tle time to prepare for the above show it
was considered very successful by the ex-
hibitors as well as all who saw it. And
"| it was further ugreed by members of the
"| county poultry association as well as the
* poultry department of the college to grow
brids next season with a view of making
next year’s show a much larger and more

—Dr. Alfred Gordon, alienist of Phila-
delphia, was notified last week of his elec-
tion to membership in the Medical Psycho-
logical society of Paris, the oldest of the
learned societies of France. The society
is composed of the most eminent alienists
and psychologists and the fact that only
nine other Americans are included in its
membership makes the honor that has
come to Dr. Gordon al all the ‘more notable.

——Harry Gehret, driver of thedelivery
wagon for Brouse's grocery, who had his
leg broken ina runaway about two months
ago, was finally discharged from the Belle-
fonte hospital on Tuesday. On Christmas
he was taken home for his Christmas din-
ner but his condition was not considered
good enough to permit of his remaining
home at that time. But now he is so far
recovered that he can get around fairly
well on crutches and when he fully recov-
ers his strength there is every indication
that he will have as free use of his leg as
ever.

The weather the past week has
been varied enough to suit the vagaries of
most anybody. Following a prolonged
cold spell it was very spring-like Sunday
and Monday, blew up cold Monday even-
ing and continued so until Wednesday
when the westernstorm reached here and
it snowed and sleeted to a depth of five
inches. Wednesday evening it had so
moderated that the snow turned to rain
and it has been raining most of the time
since with the result that the streams are
all quite high and it is very disagreeable
under foot.

-——During the past two weeks mana-
ger T. Clayton Brown has been giving an
extra long program of moving pictures at
the Scenic, three thousand feet of film or
an extra thousand feet in place of the
usual illustrated song. The change,
though only temporary, has undoubtedly
been relished by his patrons as the house
is crowded every evening. But that is a
condition not to be wondered at, as the
Scenic affords the biggest five cents
worth of amusement and entertainment
to be had in Bellefonte. Each evening's
program is distinct in itself and every
one is composed of the very latest and
best pictures on the market. You miss a
good thing if you miss one evening at the
Scenic.
—William T. Kelly, wito, since the
death of john I. Potter has been acting
freight agent at the Pennsylvania railroad
station in this place, has been permanent-
ly appointed to that position. Mr. Kelly
had quite a number of competitors in the
race for the appointment and the fact
that he won out is ample evidence of the
confidence the company has in his ability
to fill the position. And in this they are
undoubtedly right as everybody who
knows anything about the situation is
aware. For over a year prior to hisdeath
Mr. Potter was most of the time incapacita-
ted for work and Mr. Kelly performed his
duties. And he did it with such aptness
as to win commendation from both the
the freight business of the company and
able to handle the work with accuracy
and dispatch.
~The night of January 27th promis-
es an unusual event in the history of
athletics at the Bellefonte Academy.
Then the annual banquet to the football
team will be given and as Dr. Barchfeld,
of Pittsburg, has promised to be here for
it unusual preparation is being made.
Dr. Barchfeld is one of the most promi-
nent figures on the floor of Congress just
now and his interest in the Academy has
been arcused through the fact that his
son, Gilbert Meyers, has been a student
here for five years and will graduate in
June. While here Dr. Barchfeld will ad-
dress Bellefonte audiences; first at a
public meeting when he will speak on
“The Nations’ Progress," and at the ban-
quet when he will talk on “Our Island
Possessions.” It is not often that we
New Year's day the final payment was
nade by the Bellefonte wolle of Ells for |
the Curtin homestead on High St., and they |
were given a fee simple deed for the prop- |
erty which was the same day entered for .
record in the recorder’s office. The house
from cellar to third floor has been clean- |
ed of the years of accumulation of books,
old furniture, etc., which the Curtin heirs
failed to make any disposition of and
workmen are now engaged fixing up the |
house for the occupancy of the Elks. The
changes to be made will be merely minor
ones. One partition will be torn out on
the third floor in order to make the lodge
room and on the second floor some of the
closets will be torn out. All the rooms
will be repainted and repapered so that
the interior will present an entirely new
appearance.
The northwest corner room on the first
floor will be furnished as a ladies parlor
with the general reception room just back
of it. The dining room will be used as a
grill room and the kitchen will be kept
for culinary purposes. On the second floor
there will be a gentleman's parlor, loung-
ing and reading rooms, billiard room and
card rooms, with the lodge room on the’
third floor. All the above can be finished
and furnished at a comparatively nominal
expense. When the lodge’s financial con-
dition will warrant it the members con-
template a number of changes and im-
provements to the building which will
make it one of the most substantial as
well as beautiful Elk homes in the State.
WHAT THE ELKS Dip FROM CHARITY
BENEFIT.—With the money derived as the
result of their charity benefit entertain-
ment, “The Country Fair,” given in the
opera house early in December the Belle-
fonte Lodge of Elks supplied to the de-
serving poor of the town one ton of flour,
twelve tons of coal, one hundred pounds
of coffee, two hundred pounds of sugar, a
lot of other groceries, provisions and
clothing and gave fifty dollars to the
Bellefonte hospital. This good work on
the part of the Elks is not only very com-
mendable but will no doubt be a great
satisfaction to all those who so willingly
took part in the entertainment to know
that their labors were so well repaid by
those in need profiting so liberally.

FARMER'S WEEK AT STATE COLLEGE.
—That a desire to learn more and more
of the advanced methods of agriculture is
becoming widespread among the farmers
is shown by the attendance at the Farm-
er's Week exercises at State College last
week. Notwithstanding the fact that over
fourteen hundred tarmers were in attend-
ance at the State Grange meeting held at
were just 572 farmers in attendance at
the exercises last week. Of the total
number 158 were from Centre county. As
a comparison: Atthe first Farmer's Week
exercises two years ago the total attend-
ance was 336 with 111 from Centre coun-
ty, while last year the attendance was 465
with 120 from this county, so that the
percentage of increase in attendance this
year over that of last was almost as great
as the increase in 1908 over that of 1907.
So far as the exercises were concerned
they were so varied and extended that it
is impossible to give even a fraction of a
part of them. But they included lectures,
demonstrations and practicums on every
important problem that at all times con-
fronts the farmer. And these were all by
men who talked not alone on theory but
from a practical knowledge of the infor-
mation they sought to impart.

INSTALLATION OF GREGG Post OFFI-
ceErs.—The officers elect of Gregg Post No-
95, G. A. R,, for 1910 will be installed at
the regular Post meeting on January 8th.
It has been decided to admit veterans
only to the installation, and all veterans
are cordially invited to be present. The
entertainment committee will provide re-
freshments for all the comrades. Comrade
S. H. Williams, knowing the capacity of
old vets to put rations out of sight, prom-
ises ample supplies for all and will serve
promptly at 6 o'clock p. m.
Come right along, comrades.
